Show COLORADO NOTES. The eighth geueral assembly of the state bids fair to bo as impotent in its work as that of the seventh that pro-ceded pro-ceded it, although it is thought there will not rest upon it the stigma of quite so much corruption. Dillon Enterprise: Business matters in Itonver are looking tip a little, the legislature has got down to biz.; Patterson Patter-son is still trying the Millington case in the columns of the News and tho policemen police-men and deputy sheriffs are as corrupt as ever. The police and detectives are making a general round up in Denver. They are arresting all suspicious characters ami vagrants, keeping an eye on suspected sus-pected criminals and raiding houses of questionable repute, l or the past two days and nights the patrol wagon has been almost continually on the go in answering calls from the signal boxes. The recent unprovoked murder of Uriley at Salida is drawing forth much unfavorable comment through the press of the state, which advocates a vigorous prosecution of all connected with the outrage. It is alleged that there were about lf0 concerned in the lynching, and it. is thought that roost of them will be identified aud brought to trtal. The country west of Conejos county is shut olf from the outside world by a snow blockade, aud no trains are running run-ning between Alamosa and Durango. When the Kio Gra.nde Southern is completed com-pleted the people of that section will have cause to rejoice, for they can then not only get out by a different route, but can enjoy tho privilege of seeing Hidgway. The house killod the bill to compel every school district in the state to keep a United States Hag flying over its school house. The pretense that the floating of a llag wojld be promotive of patriotism in tho school children is all nonsense. All Americans are patriotic, aud they do not need a compulsory statutory enactment to make them love their country. |
